It's been full of the kind of state-of-the-nation speechifying that has marred some other of scriptwriter David Hare's dramas, so that even the striking performances... haven't compensated for its heavy-handedness.&dash; Irish Independent - EDIT

It helps that the storylines are engrossing, that the scripts are witty and that the four central characters are so sharply defined and well played that you're eager to spend time in their company.&dash; Irish Independent - EDIT

James Norton is no Al Pacino and, on the evidence of the opening episodes, this dramatisation of Misha Glenny's 2008 book about global crime will turn out to be no masterpiece.&dash; Irish Independent - EDIT

In short, the series is tosh, a soap opera masquerading as a legal drama, riddled with implausibilities, and with Amy Huberman's Tara even more mopey and woebegone than in the first season.&dash; Irish Independent - EDIT

Though the writing in this season-opener was as sharp as ever, most of the set-ups and gags were squirm-inducing rather than truly amusing, while the troupe of supercilious alpha-mums were almost cartoonish in their social shallowness.&dash; Irish Independent - EDIT

The genius of this series was that all of the characters, even the most minor, were so quirky and so well cast that they seemed to have lives that extended beyond their presence on screen.&dash; Irish Independent - EDIT

[The Deuce] leaves you feeling unsettled by the thought that, almost 50 years later, the casual misogyny so beadily observed here has now found official expression in the America of Donald Trump.&dash; Irish Independent - EDIT

Line of Duty (BBC1) came to a nail-bitingly exciting end, or rather to three nail-bitingly exciting ends, two of them unforeseeable by even the most imaginative of viewers.&dash; Irish Independent - EDIT

Likeability, of course, isn't a prerequisite for an interesting character, but unfortunately, the makers of Girlboss seem to think that Sophia (Britt Robertson) is adorably kooky rather than rude and obnoxious.&dash; Irish Independent - EDIT

Yet despite all the right-on sloganising, there's lively playing from an unfamiliar cast who create some intriguing characters, and the series may well prove worth pursuing.&dash; Irish Independent - EDIT

From the two episodes I've watched, the drama is quite compelling, with affecting turns from Katherine Langford... and from Dylan Minnette... but the gradual audio-tape revelations are decidedly gimmicky.&dash; Irish Independent - EDIT

The series has me hooked, with an intriguingly enigmatic turn from Kidman... while Witherspoon brought a wrenching poignancy to scenes in which she let her public guard down and revealed her private loneliness.&dash; Irish Times - EDIT
